BACKGROUND
For AMAC’s 40th anniversary, the organization embarked on a strategic planning process to advance its vision of creating economic equity, access and wealth for minorities and women in the aviation and aerospace industries. In light of increasing legislative and social disruptors, AMAC’s mission is more important than ever to preserve, defend and grow opportunities for its stakeholders.
PROCESS
AMAC engaged consultants in the Fall of 2022 to conduct comprehensive stakeholder interviews and a member survey in preparation for an AMAC Board of Directors (AMAC, AMAC Foundation and AMAC PAC) strategic planning retreat on January 31–February 1, 2023, in Baltimore, MD. With a wide variety of industry needs to address, the purpose of this retreat was to clarify the type of challenges AMAC is uniquely positioned to help solve for key constituents so that it can prioritize the efforts of its staff, volunteers and contractors. Comprehensive stakeholder interviews commenced with the Board Directors and select member cohorts. Finally, follow-up input from the Strategic Planning Committee and the National Office concluded the development of the final strategic plan with pillars, goals and strategies to be implemented over the next three years.
OUTCOME
The resulting 2024-2027 Strategic Plan aims to strengthen advocacy efforts, deploy AMAC’s thought leadership, expand business contracting opportunities, diversify leadership and management in the industry, and build AMAC’s organizational capacity through operational sustainability and enhanced member value.
PURPOSE
- Align the board, staff and other stakeholders on a shared vision for success
- Communicate an overarching strategy for the organization
- Guide AMAC’s decision-making and resource management at all levels of the organization
